Saves The Day - 9 (October 26, 2018) Album • Page 22

none of the violence on that record sits well with me, and honestly it wasn’t until a couple years ago that i listened to that record and really critically looked at a lot of the lyrics. it’s still nostalgic for me, but it’s a lot like take this to your grave or things like that where the nostalgia comes with a caveat that should be considered. i think it’s important that we re evaluate these classic staple records

 

and like, by “considered” and “re evaluated,” i mean, we need to talk about it and make these issues with these misogynistic lyrics known

shut up, Dan

 

Don't make me do this here

 

I enjoy Kerouac & Cassady

 

much better the second time around.

 

It seems like they phoned it in for this record.

 

It's funny you say that because as much as I dislike the lyrics and vocals that's definitely not the impression I get from this album. It's just not what I wanted and that's okay.

 

The vocals honestly don't bother me, Saves The Day is a cool song though. Maybe the effort seems lazy to me ? I'm not sure, I definitely need to spend more time with it. But this band has always been hit or miss with me.

 

Lazy people don't write 21 minute songs

 

i think this record is as spirited as they’ve ever been

 

Scene: Chris Conley is fast asleep

Zzzzzz Zzzzz

(a loud noise awakes him)

Chris: AHHH what was that?!!

(silence)

Chris: Oh well, I guess now that I'm up I might as well write a 7-part 21-minute song

(5 minutes later)

Chris: All done, back to bed!

 

anyway... i still like this a lot.

 

Either way I'm going to spend time with it and hopefully it grows on me by the show rolls around. I wouldn't say it's a terrible album either.

 

picked up an LP! kinda wish they had used the back cover for the art, love the pink accent

 

My preorder came in today and I was surprised with a signed poster. Woohoo!

 

Same!

"29" may be one of, if not, my favorite saves the day songs ever.

 

Really enjoying this. “29” is absolutely amazing. But I cant help but feel like I wish it was broken down into separate tracks.

 

So is there truth to the whole Chris getting recently divorced thing? Someone on here heard it on a podcast?

If true, that makes “29” so depressing. His love for her is so strong, and I imagine that’s gonna be tough to sing live. “Undress Me” too. I fucking love that song. (Anybody else think Saves have perfect album closers every time?)

 

Absolutely. Im actually gonna throw all of their closers into a playlist and just cry tears of joy

 

Yeah, he talks about his split briefly in the Billboard interview someone linked a page or two back. Seriously, so much passion for her. Undress Me always gives me chills.

 

Reading that now. “My daughter’s mom.” Damn.
